Alex Shoumatoff
I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.
Ali MacGraw

Arvind Kejriwal

Asin
The capacity for extravagant emotion that my husband finds so attractive in me can be exhausting, especially to a child. My moods are mercurial, and this can be terrifying. I know, because I was a daughter of a mother with a changeable temperament.

Charles Ives
The construction of a courthouse is a long-term investment in a building where important public business is done. But that does not justify extravagant expenditures. Courthouses should be dignified, durable, and functional. They should not be grandiose, monumental, and luxurious.
Charles T. Canady
The extravagant expenditure of public money is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people who are taxed for it.
Chester A. Arthur
I was born in Paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time I was 12 I had started going to the movies by myself. Most of the movies of that period never appealed to me. I didn't like the 'naturalism,' the sad or the 'down-to-earth' characters. What I wanted from film was fantasy, dreams, funny situations, extravagant decor - and beautiful women.
I am built close to the ground and of extravagant body.
I lived in a studio apartment until my mid-30s. I don't have an extravagant lifestyle.

There was a Saint Laurent dress that I actually had to hide from my manager. I DJ'd for part of the money, did a shoot and got a discount, and it was still one of my most extravagant purchases. I've worn it loads, even to do chores around the house, so surely that makes it ok?

I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
When I first got signed, I bought a vintage guitar from the 1930s for £1000. I've bought a £400 SLR camera, too, which was quite extravagant.

I have pets, but they're the really ordinary sort - yellow Labrador, tabby cat, white rabbit, a few goldfish - that kind of stuff. Nothing very... extravagant or unusual or exotic, but I find, in terms of inspiration, Mother Nature is just it.
I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.
I love the feeling of having as close to a steady job as you can ever have as an actor.

We're all well-acquainted with depression, we all know what the low moods are, but the mania was not something I knew much about. I didn't know that it would make someone dress extravagantly or start to pun, and to stay up and drink.
White people have always slipped in and out of the experiences of people of color and been praised extravagantly for it.
There's so much of our behavior that kind of curdles and hardens as we get into adulthood, and it becomes so much more difficult to be hopeful and to dream extravagantly.

Typically, actors overplay jargon or toss it away in an extravagant display of casualness. Real people hit the important parts hard.
Every player thinks he's Maradona when he joins a big club. That happens to all of us, but then you start to notice it in the younger players. You see kids who think they're rock stars, wearing extravagant clothes and driving fancy cars... and sometimes you have to take them aside and have a word.
The great thing about costume jewelry is that there's something for everyone - there are very humorous pieces and very extravagant and outrageous pieces.
